Bravos de Margarita manager Stu Cliburn says the Mets are among the teams that have scouts buzzing about how Jose Arredondo has pitched in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Arredondo, 32, holds a 3.45 ERA and 28/16 K/BB ratio over 28 2/3 relief innings so far for the Bravos. The righty hasn't appeared in the majors since 2012 and has pitched only in winter ball and independent ball the last few years. However, he could potentially be an interesting bullpen arm in some team's spring camp as a non-roster invitee. Fri, Dec 30, 2016 09:29:00 AM

The 29-year-old right-hander did not appear in the big leagues with the Reds in 2013, compiling a brutal 5.87 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 62/39 K/BB ratio over 53 2/3 innings at Triple-A Louisville. He's still young enough and talented enough that there will be interested teams willing to let him compete for a bullpen spot. Fri, Oct 18, 2013 09:23:00 PM

Jose Arredondo has been suspended at Triple-A Louisville for violating team rules.

Louisville manager Jim Riggleman wouldn't go into details other than to say that Arredondo, who holds a 4.15 ERA and 35/20 K/BB ratio in 21 2/3 Triple-A frames, will be away from the club for 10-14 days. "We have basic rules, he violated one of those rules, we decided a suspension was warranted," Riggleman explained. "I talked to my bosses in Cincinnati and this is what they came up with. He’ll be away from us maybe 10 days to two weeks. He’ll be working out, in uniform, somewhere, but it will be a while." Sun, May 26, 2013 10:27:00 AM

Arredondo surprisingly passed through waivers, but he'll have to accept an assignment to Triple-A. He posted ERAs of 3.23 and 2.95 in 2011 and 2012, respectively, while striking out nearly a batter per inning, so he can certainly be useful as a middle relief option. Sun, Mar 31, 2013 03:06:00 PM

Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports SP Anthony DeSclafani has recovered from his elbow injury and will be fully ready for action at the start of spring training.

DeSclafani missed the entire 2017 season with a sprained UCL in his right elbow after opting for rehabilitation rather than Tommy John surgery. He could be a nice sleeper this year if he can return to the form that saw him register a 3.28 ERA through 20 starts in 2016. The Reds' rotation was crushed by injury last year but should be back to full strength this season. Homer Bailey, Brandon Finnegan, Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle are expected to round out the rotation.
